Hmmm... well, on your culture, i'd have to say it is so consumer culture and generally shows the excesses of capitalism.

Politics are too imperialist (at the moment and since about the end of WWII tell the end of the cold war), you meddle to much in the internal affairs of other nations.

I originally had two stereotypes of americans: slack-jawed southern, right wing, gun nut yokels or loud, abrasive, stupid gun nuts. I knew of course that not all americans were like this.

After debating with americans, some fit parts of my original stereotypes but i also found that there were those who were calm, considerate, cynical and intelligent enough to not believe everything that they were told.
